Rock all the way in Limerick opener
He is a nice horse and is improving. He jumps great and will make a nice chaser. He is still a bit green, that was only his fourth run over hurdles, he is still a baby. We were confident coming here today and we have no immediate plans for him now.
Dice lands another Limerick gamble
He done it well. He was injured before he won last year , but we sorted that now.
Walsh & Hourigan score again
Virignia (winning owner Virginia Lady Petersham) is a great supporter of National Hunt racing and I'm delighted to train a winner for her as she was getting a bit dishearted recently. He is a real summer horse but we will probably wait until next season to go chasing with him.
Galant Ferns sluices up at Limerick
When she is on form, she is very good. She probably appreciated the juice in the ground.
Doyle completes 175/1 treble aboard Noble
Thewesthowaya looks smart
She's been in training for a while now and she's been immature so that's why she hasn't raced until now. It's great that our patience paid off. Patrick thinks she's good enough to go for a winners bumper now. She likes good ground and she'll be kept going for the summer.
